  • 1. Moviezine
    4 / 5

    Translated from swedish: "The Naked Gun" is a triumphant fresh start for an iconic film series – and despite its brief runtime, the movie delivers more laughs than all of this year's other comedies combined.
    - Lucas Mass

    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: "The Naked Gun" is ridiculous in the best possible way. Leslie Nielsen is rolling in his grave – with laughter.
    - Daniel Hånberg Alonso

  • 4. Game Reactor
    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: It obviously doesn't measure up to the 1988 classic and lacks some of that David Zucker magic, but thanks to Liam Neeson, it's not a bad way to wrap up your summer vacation either.
    - André Lamartine

  • 5. Filmtopp
    3 / 5

    Translated from swedish: "The Naked Gun" runs just under ninety minutes. In that time, it doesn't try to solve any world problems or plant any profound thoughts in our heads. It has one single goal: to make us laugh. No matter how silly it gets.
    - Axel Diedrichs

  • 6. Aftonbladet
    2 / 5

    Translated from swedish: No, it's mostly blanks being fired from the naked gun these days – yet it still manages to leave holes in your head.
    - Leo Pettersson

  • 7. Uppsala Nya Tidning
    2 / 5

    Translated from swedish: The warning bells start ringing just by looking at the cast. Still, "The Naked Gun" in 2025 isn't a complete disaster.
    - Björn G Stenberg

    4 / 10

    Translated from swedish: Is this movie funny? Well... It's not completely hopeless. It has its moments here and there.
    - Pidde Andersson

  • 9. Göteborgs-Posten
    1 / 5

    Translated from swedish: The amount of cheesy dirty jokes hasn't decreased but rather increased

  • 10. Kulturbloggen
    2 / 10

    Translated from swedish: It's like watching a theatrical performance where the entire stage is engulfed in flames and the actors pretend nothing has gone wrong. This makes the film feel completely tone-deaf and not the least bit interested in addressing the obvious problems that even a blind man could point out.
    - Elis Holmström

    No Rating

    Translated from swedish: Nothing wrong with the film's intentions. It's just the timing and direction that don't click. The original comes across as a masterpiece of craftsmanship by comparison.
    - Kerstin Gezelius
